INVENTOR AM w ATTORNEY nonna. DoLEsoIj iinnrvinnii, KENTUCKY- "ienne-1To all 'wwmz't mog/'concern "zen of Vthe United States, residingatfEddy'- ing Haystacks,` of which the following is au specification. v

`My invention relates to new and useful improvements in a haystack poleand more particularly to a pole for ventilating hay stacks. v

The principal object o .f my invention is the construction of a pole insuch a manner that .the stack will be ventilated throughoutlv its heightand breadth.

Another object is the construction of the pole in suoli a manner as toallowfor the settling of the stack. y A further object is theprovision-of transverse pipes which are detaehably lconnected to the'central vertical pole. and vertically adjustable thereon.

Still another object is the construction of the condensation from thestack.

Vith these and other objects in-view, my

invention consists'in the novcldetails of construction and thearrangement -of parts which will be inoie fullyunderstood from thefollowing specilicationand drawings'in.

Having fully described my inventim, what I claim as new and desire tosecure tor Letters Patent is perforatedpole haying elongatedy openingsthere-in, and perforated pipes extending through the elongated openings.
